On Tuesday, the US dollar held steady as investors geared up for the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole symposium. Chair Jerome Powell is expected to speak, potentially indicating future interest rate directions. A cautious approach may support the dollar, whereas dovish statements could trigger selling pressure. US Treasury yields rose slightly as market expectations shifted to just two rate cuts by year's end. Additionally, President Trump's White House discussions on Ukraine security guarantees could affect market confidence, impacting riskier assets and the dollar's strength.
Investors are positioning themselves ahead of the Federal Reserve's annual Jackson Hole symposium, where Chair Jerome Powell will speak and offer updates on interest rates.
Current market expectations foresee only two rate cuts by year-end, a reduction from earlier projections of three. This indicates a shift in monetary policy outlook.
President Trump’s discussions on security guarantees for Ukraine at the White House summit with European nations could calm markets or increase demand for safe havens depending on outcomes.
If Powell adopts a cautious tone during his speech, it may provide support for the US dollar, while dovish comments could prompt renewed selling.
